Yes, here is one: http://keyserver.snt.utwente.nl

(see https://sks-keyservers.net/status/ and http://keyserver.snt.utwente.nl:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats ) 

However, it was kicked out of the pool because "SKS version < 1.1.6" as per https://sks-keyservers.net/status/ks-status.php?server=keyserver.snt.utwente.nl

It does seem to be syncing well - key diff 1,385 looks great to me even compared to servers that are in the pool.

I'm adding Robert in copy in case he's able to share his experience running the Hockeypuck server. Robert, if this email can reach you, We'd be interested to know how is the server coping with recent issues that were affecting the SKS network? How stable do you find Hockeypuck overall, how much dev-ops do you need to do?

I should also add, you'll then need to drop the key from the DB with:

$ sks drop 8C070D00D81E934B3C79247175E6B4BC
